Right from its inception, Bell & Ross has been passionate about the history and values of the military. ToĀ progress as far as possible in its quest for excellence, Bell & Ross has made aeronautical instrumentation oneĀ of its primary sources of inspiration, both in terms of design and technology.
This is why its watches meet theĀ functional and ergonomic criteria required by pilots and all users of professional horological instruments.
Featuring the colour codes and rich detail of the naval officer’s uniform, the VINTAGE BR AĆRONAVALEĀ symbolises military excellence and tradition.
THE PRESTIGE OF THE UNIFORM
In the cockpit of a Rafale, a naval air force pilot wears aĀ flight suit covered in pockets, for practicality and comfort.Ā During official ceremonies, his attire changes to displayĀ military prestige.
The blue of the uniform evokes the sea. The gold of theĀ wings, trim and buttons conveys poise, nobility and victory.Ā The blue/gold combination is also found on VINTAGE BRĀ AĆRONAVALE models, which feature all the symbols andĀ motifs that appear on naval uniforms.
ELEGANCE AND FUNCTIONALITYĀ
Reflecting the prestige of the ceremonial uniform worn by naval officers, the VINTAGE BR AĆRONAVALE modelsĀ will seduce fans of timepieces rich in both colour and values.
Two new models have been added to the VINTAGE BRĀ AĆRONAVALE collection: a chronograph and three-handĀ small seconds.
The 43 mm diameter polished steel case exudes retro chic.Ā On both versions, the gilt skeletonised hour and minuteĀ hands stand out starkly against the navy blue sunray dial.
The contrast between the two colours offers a refined airĀ and excellent legibility.
Designed for pilots, the VINTAGE BR AĆRONAVALEĀ Chronograph is a time measuring instrument that marriesĀ functionality and elegance. It has two additional countersĀ with snailed guillochĆ© decoration and a 60-minuteĀ graduated bezel in blue anodised aluminium.
The ultra-curved sapphire crystal underlines both the classicĀ style of the watch and its strength. Made in Switzerland andĀ renowned for their reliability and accuracy, the mechanicalĀ movements with automatic winding that drive these twoĀ versions are visible through a transparent case-back.
The watch comes with either a distressed blue calfskin strapĀ with cinnamon stitching, or a midnight blue alligator strapĀ with a pin buckle clasp. The shiny alligator strap of theĀ VINTAGE BR AERONAVALE exudes classic sophistication,Ā while the satin-like texture of the calfskin, with distressedĀ effect and overstitching in contrasting colours, makes forĀ a very sharp, on-trend look.
